While correlation and multiple regression analyses found that GOP is negatively related with ACP as expected and positive related with CCC against expected. Regression for TPCCL established that GOP was negatively related with ACP as expected and positively related with ITID against expected. Also GOP positively related with APP (as expected) while negatively related with CCC (as expected).
